  2. Multiplicative group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_group

    The group scheme of n-th roots of unity is by definition the kernel of the n-power map on the multiplicative group GL(1), considered as a group scheme.That is, for any integer n > 1 we can consider the morphism on the multiplicative group that takes n-th powers, and take an appropriate fiber product of schemes, with the morphism e that serves as the identity.

  3. Conway polynomial (finite fields) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_polynomial_(finite...

    The Conway polynomial is chosen to be primitive, so that each of its roots generates the multiplicative group of the associated finite field. The field F p n contains a unique subfield isomorphic to F p m for each m dividing n, and this accounts for all the subfields of F p n. For any m dividing n the cyclic group F * p n contains a subgroup ...

  4. Chevalley–Shephard–Todd theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevalley–Shephard–Todd...

    Let V be one-dimensional. Then any finite group faithfully acting on V is a subgroup of the multiplicative group of the field K, and hence a cyclic group.It follows that G consists of roots of unity of order dividing n, where n is its order, so G is generated by pseudoreflections.

  5. Finite field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field

    In mathematics, a finite field or Galois field (so-named in honor of Évariste Galois) is a field that contains a finite number of elements.As with any field, a finite field is a set on which the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division are defined and satisfy certain basic rules.

  6. Primitive element (finite field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_element_(finite...

    In field theory, a primitive element of a finite field GF(q) is a generator of the multiplicative group of the field. In other words, α ∈ GF(q) is called a primitive element if it is a primitive (q − 1) th root of unity in GF(q); this means that each non-zero element of GF(q) can be written as α i for some natural number i.

  7. K-groups of a field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-groups_of_a_field

    The map sending a finite-dimensional F-vector space to its dimension induces an isomorphism for any field F. Next, =, the multiplicative group of F. [1] The second K-group of a field is described in terms of generators and relations by Matsumoto's theorem.

  8. Galois ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_ring

    The group of units, R ×, can be decomposed as a direct product G 1 ×G 2, as follows. The subgroup G 1 is the group of (p r – 1)-th roots of unity. It is a cyclic group of order p r – 1. The subgroup G 2 is 1+pR, consisting of all elements congruent to 1 modulo p. It is a group of order p r(n−1), with the following structure:

  9. Frobenius group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_group

    The Fano plane. The smallest example is the symmetric group on 3 points, with 6 elements. The Frobenius kernel K has order 3, and the complement H has order 2.; For every finite field F q with q (> 2) elements, the group of invertible affine transformations +, acting naturally on F q is a Frobenius group.
